Toronto FC lost 1-0 to the New York Red Bulls in an abrasive game Sunday and still advanced to the MLS Eastern Conference final on away goals after the two-leg series ended tied 2-2 on goals aggregate.

It was a feisty affair that saw Toronto striker Jozy Altidore and Red Bulls captain Sacha Kljestan sent off after a tunnel melee at halftime.

League-leading Toronto will be without star striker Sebastian Giovinco for the next game after his second yellow in two games. TFC will play the Columbus Crew SC or New York City FC in the Conference final.

As big as the New York Red Bulls' long-running rivalry with D.C. United may be, they would take any win against any team right now just to get back on the path to the postseason.

New York (12-11-6, 42 points) has not won in its last six matches (two losses, four draws), falling from fourth place to sixth in the process. Slide any further down the Eastern Conference standings and the Red Bulls would be beneath the playoff line and in danger of a first season without a postseason berth since 2009.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Federico Higuain had three assists and the Columbus Crew extended their unbeaten streak to seven games with a 3-2 win over the New York Red Bulls on Saturday night.

Getting off to a strong start has not been a strong point for the Los Angeles Galaxy this season.

The Galaxy have scored three goals before halftime through nine MLS matches, underscoring the offensive struggles that Los Angeles early in the season. It is also one key issue among many that has left the Galaxy just one point ahead of last-place Colorado in the Western Conference standings entering Sunday's match against the host New York Red Bulls.

In three of the four games that Los Angeles (2-5-2) has at least a point, the Galaxy needed second-half goals to secure a positive result -- including a two-goal rally to force a 2-2 draw with Chicago last Saturday.

CHESTER, Pa. (AP) C.J. Sapong scored three times in 11 minutes late in the second half to help the Philadelphia Union win for the first time this season, 3-0 over the New York Red Bulls on Saturday night.

The floodgates opened for Philadelphia (1-4-4) in the 74th minute after New York's Aaron Long misplayed a header on a long ball. Sapong gathered the loose ball and drove inside the box before his shot deflected off Long's ankle over goalkeeper Luis Robles.
